Platform: Commodore 64
Gametype: Undefined

Quite basic looking game but good fun. Shoot the lock off the gate with your lance and your on your way. The dragons heads were a challenge as they had to be hit at the correct angle.

Save Me, Brave Knight can perhaps be considered a very early precursor of modern graphic role-playing games. The player is a medieval knight who must rescue a fair maiden from an evil castle, guarded by a sentient lock, flying witches and evil birds, and a fire-breathing dragon (yes, this is one dragon, albeit a seven-headed one, common in Hungarian children's tales.) After conquering all the obstacles, the knight must face a random choice between two doors, only one of which hides the maiden.

Hey, we were only programmers; no-one said we knew anything about game design!

Apart from being yet another (however primitive) 3D game, this program also featured a color mixing technique that allowed us to display many more colors than the original 16 of the Commodore 64. (No, none of us have heard of the term dithering at that time...)
